888.630.9224Is your furnace, heat pump or air conditioner not working? Check these three things before calling for service and you might be able to fix it on your own!
1. Is your thermostat set with the proper settings? In the winter it should be in Heat or Auto mode. If you have cooling in the summer, it should be in Cool or Auto mode.
2. When was the last time you changed your filters? If it wasn’t within the past 3 months, a clogged filter might be tripping the safety switch and shutting off the unit. You can test to see if the filter is the source of your problem by taking the filter out and cycling on the system. If it turns on and runs normally, a clogged filter might have been your problem. If the filter was indeed clogged, the furnace may be in similar shape, so call to schedule a Precision Tune Up ASAP.
3. Do you have power to the unit? Check the breakers to make sure they haven’t tripped for any reason. A tripped breaker may have been caused by a faulty part, so call us after resetting it for further instruction.
If you have gone through these checks and your unit still isn’t working, give us a call and we can schedule a technician out to your house to perform a thorough diagnostic check on your system.
